Which outcome occurs when a thin oil film on water experiences varying thickness under white light?

💡 Explanation

Constructive and destructive interference creates color patterns because light waves reflect from the top and bottom surfaces of the oil film; the path length difference depends on the oil thickness, resulting in different wavelengths interfering constructively or destructively rather than simply refracting all the light.
